Kumpare/kumare ko si Jobert Sucaldito. Inaanak ko sa binyag ang nag-iisang anak niya na si Carlo Brian Sucaldito.
Pinost ni Carlo sa Facebook account ni Jobert ang official statement ng kanilang pamilya kung ano ang ikinamatay ni Tatay/Nanay/Tito Jobert.
Bahagi ng FB post ni Carlo nitong Agosto 3, 2026, Lunes ng umaga: “Sadly, Nanay Jobert passed away yesterday due to cardiac arrest (heart failure), as explained by the doctors at the Philippine Heart Center.
“During the incident, he suddenly collapsed and fell, causing him to hit his head, which resulted in the bruise on his forehead and the cut on his lips.
“His wake is currently being held at Loyola Memorial Chapels & Crematorium – Commonwealth, and everyone who wants to visit is welcome anytime until August 6, 2026.”
LAST MOMENTS OF JOBERT SUCALDITO
Heartwarming ang kuwento ni Carlo sa mga huling linggo ni Jobert.
Pagsisiwalat ni Carlo: “A few weeks ago, Nanay was rushed to Providence Hospital because he really wasn't in good condition.
“The doctors recommended that he be admitted to the ICU, but if you all know Nanay, alam niyo kung gaano siya katapang at katigas ang ulo in the best way possible.
“He wanted to keep fighting and continue enjoying life, and he kept saying, ‘Kaya ko!’ at ‘Okay ako!’
“As his son, I respected his decision. With the help of Daddy Doc, Chaps Manansala, Maine Nieto, and everyone else who helped us during that time, we were able to bring him home.
“Thank you so much to all of you who showed your love, concern, prayers, and never stopped checking on him. We truly appreciate all of you.
“The last two weeks we spent together became some of the most unforgettable moments of my life.
“We went on road trips, visited places he enjoyed, shared meals, laughed together, and simply spent quality father-and-son time.
“Looking back, we noticed that his body was slowly getting weaker, but he never complained and never wanted anyone to worry.
“He always made us believe that he was okay, even when he probably wasn't.
“We're just grateful that we were able to spend those last moments with him doing the things that made him genuinely happy.”
Sa mga nagtatanong kung paano makakatulong…
“If you wish to send an abuloy/donations, any amount will be deeply appreciated,” post ni Carlo.
“We kindly ask that it be sent only to Nanay Jobert Sucaldito's GCash account. +63 918 908 0322
“Please don't send it to any other account so we can properly acknowledge and personally thank everyone who extended their help.
“For any questions or updates, you may message me directly or send a message here on Nanay's Facebook account.
“On behalf of our family, thank you so much for all the love, prayers, messages, and support you've shown Nanay and our family during this difficult time.
“Rest easy, Tatay. I love you, and I'll miss you every single day.”

JERRY OLEA
Nagkita at nagkabatian kami ni Jobert Sucaldito sa launch ng "Pasta" song ni Andrew E noong Hulyo 29, Miyerkules ng gabi, sa G-side Night Club, Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City.
Past midnight, pauwi na ako sa bahay sa Makati City. Nakita ko sa labas si Jobert, katsika ang mga katotong Salve Asis at Ian Fariñas. Nakitsika ako sandali.
Naihimutok ni Jobert na dalawang buwan nang isa’t kalahating oras lang ang tulog niya araw-araw dahil sa blockade sa kanyang puso.
May dumating na taxi kaya nagpaalam na ako sa kanila at umuwi.
May self-imposed curfew ako na dapat huwag abutin ng 12:00 midnight sa labas ng bahay. Cinderella curfew ang tawag ko roon.
Once in a while, hindi nasusunod iyon dahil sa ilang event na pinupuntahan ko.
JOBERT SUCALDITO'S FACEBOOK POST
Noong Agosto 1, Sabado, may mahabang post pa si Jobert sa Facebook kung saan pinasalamatan niya ang mga taong tumutulong sa kanya.
Bahagi ng FB post ni Jobert (published as is): “I am going thru anxiety and all the last 2 months. I can't sleep in my house literally- as in.
“Imagine, 1 and1/2 hours lang tulog ko everyday for more than a month. Scary sobra.
“Kaya kinapalan ko talaga mukha ko na tumambay sa Adonis Mankind everyday —natutulog ako sa folding bed sa dining room niya before and during bar operations and during the day ay kasama ko mga staff ni Daddy Doc sa bar's sofas.
“Kahit papaano nakakatulog ako ng 5 hours kahit paputol-putol. Sobrang bait ni Daddy Doc — pinapakain pa niya ako every now and then — para akong legally adopted border niya…”
Ang "Doc" na tinutukoy ni Jobert ay si Dr. Percival de Leon, may-ari ng Adonis male entertainment bars, na kasama niya sa pinost na litrato.
Pag-asam ni Jobert: “Sana malagpasan ko na itong pinagdadaanan ko para ma-normalize na ulit ang buhay ko. Ang hirap talaga pag kulang ka sa tulog — lagi kang lutang.
“Thanks too sa anak kong si Carlo Brian and apong si Lenlen na sinasamahan ako sa bahay, my brother Bong and sister Jackie for constantly checking on me.
“And to everyone na pinagdarasal na gumaling na ako. Again, Daddy Doc — I owe you my life. Thanks for the unconditional love in the name of friendship.
“May God bless us all.”
ALVIN CUNANAN MOURNS JOBERT'S PASSING
Sa mga nakiramay sa pagpanaw ni Jobert, makapukaw-pansin ang post ng dating aktor na si Alvin Cunanan, kung saan bagets ang itsura ni Jobert.
Facebook post ni Alvin: “A very young Jobert Sucaldito, who later became a well respected Philippine Showbiz columnist and broadcaster, holding the fun makeshift bouquet he put together because he had no flowers to congratulate me with after my stage play in 1984.
“He was always the first to greet me on my birthday and continued calling me ‘Baby’ even as we grew older! Rest in peace, buddy!”

NOEL FERRER
Grabe, ikinagulat talaga ng marami ang pagpanaw ni Jobert Sucaldito at 65 nitong August 2, Sunday morning, lalo’t very visible pa siya lately sa showbiz events at sa OOTD niya.
Tapos open pa siya about sa pinagdaraanan niyang anxiety na siyang dahilan ng hirap niya sa pagtulog.
Na-confine pa nga siya recently sa Providence Hospital dahil sa severe anxiety bago siya tuluyang pumanaw due to cardiac arrest.
Taos-pusong pakikiramay ang aming Troika sa buong pamilya, kay Direk Chaps at sa OOTD family, at sa anak niyang si Carlo Brian.
Rest in peace, Jobert.
Sana ‘y magsilbi rin itong paalala sa ating lahat na ingatan talaga ang health.
Hindi biro ang anxiety at puyat, kaya sana mas bigyan natin ng pansin ang pahinga at check-up.
God bless us all!
